Talk about getting flogged by injuries.. Poor bloke hope he gets a good run next year.

Injuries certainly havent helped.

Get better, get out there and good luck

You have one year unfortunately.

Tough in and under midfielder is a poor mans Jack Viney apparently. Will be interesting to see how he goes as he is the type Roosy likes.

You mean 'fortunately?'

And rookies have a 1 + 1 contract. Our own Dean Terlich was cut after 1 season.

Good luck to a good kid. Let's hope he gets treated like more than a rookie under Roos.

how is it fortunate he has ONLY one year to get going?

If he doesnt jump out of the box he'll be gone by this time next year.at best.

You're right. I misread what you said. But he is lucky in that he will get what all other teens draftees usually get - 2 years.

He could have been told 'that's it, son' already...

I hate the rookie list, it should be scrapped. Just have expanded lists.

It's a way for clubs to circumvent the minimum salary.

I don't think they'll abolish it any time soon, otherwise they'd have done it already.

I am waiting for a couple of posters to come out with what we usually hear on these boards - "he is a dud", or, "he is / will be a gun"!!

The PA should fight harder to get rid of it, do something for the kids who put their life on hold for a shot at AFL footy and get treated like an afterthought at most clubs.

They should, but it means less for the players who aren't rookies, considering it comes from an agreed percentage of revenue.
